CHAPTER 1056 SHATTERING IT
Finley attacked the Inner Fiend with the power of over ten different true rules.
Such was the combined force of these true rules that it seemed to unsettle the Inner Fiend.
"Damned you, Water Kylin, attack with all your strength!" Finley roared.
"As you wish!"
The Water Kylin's golden hair stood up, accompanied by blue lightning, roaring flames from outer
space, and true water skill. All kinds of powerful attack methods erupted from his hands.
At the same time, a red and blue Immortal Character spun above him. As the Immortal Character was
released, the Water Kylin's power and energy soared.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Taking advantage of this surge in his strength, the Water Kylin flew forward and slashed at the Inner
Fiend with his massive claws.
Overwhelmed by the madness of these attacks, the Inner Fiend was forced back a little.
"Sizz!"
Despite the temporary setback, the Inner Fiend's opinion of his opponents' strength didn't change. Still
confident of his abilities, the Inner Fiend rationalized, 'The two nonentities' skills are unique and
aggressive. However, their cultivation levels are too low for them to exert strength comparable to the
Emperor Realm. Even if they combined their powers, they would only be equal to a cultivator at primary
level of the Emperor Realm, who only uses his physical strength. How can they be a match for me?'
As a six-tribulation senior holy warrior at the top level, the Inner Fiend possessed a dodecahedral
crystal. Its combat power was much higher than that of a human cultivator at the top-level of the six-
tribulation realm.
"Ah!" The Inner Fiend roared as he summoned all his power. A split second later, the rune on the
golden stick exploded, and the power it contained burst forth in torrents.
The blast pushed both Finley and the Water Kylin back and then the Inner Fiend chased them.
"One attack of my stick is enough to kill you!" The Inner Fiend was elated at the thought that it would be
easy for him to kill the two ants.
The golden stick broke the space, and in the blink of an eye, it besieged Finley and the Water Kylin. It
all happened so fast that they couldn't avoid it.
"Fight harder!" Although Finley's aura was ferocious, he emitted a soft golden light.
"Don't worry. I'll handle this." Darren flew over and patted Finley's shoulder. Then, he thrust forth his
palm.
Bang!
The golden light exploded, and the force pushed Darren backward. At the same time, the golden stick
was repelled by him!
"What?"
The Inner Fiend was stunned. He had expected his attack to devastate the two nonentities. To his
astonishment, his golden stick had been defeated. And by a non-match!
Even a cultivator at the primary stage of the Emperor Realm wouldn't dare to use his physical strength
to withstand this blow as he would need all his skills to suppress it! Not only had this human trounced
his attack with one move, but he had withstood the power of the golden stick as well! And he wasn't
even wounded! The Inner Fiend's heart sank.
Only then did he realize that the human in front of him had improved significantly. From among the
cultivators he was battling, the human had emerged as his strongest opponent!
"What? Are you afraid?" Darren glared at the Inner Fiend.
"How can you be so powerful when you are still a half-step emperor?" the Inner Fiend roared as
confusion coursed through him.
"Powerful? But you haven't experienced my real power yet. Try my Shura Force!"
Darren's body illuminated a blood red light, and the forbidden area turned into a sea of blood. The Inner
Fiend's heart trembled when he felt the powerful aura from the Darkest Hell.
"You!"
The Inner Fiend paled when he felt the power. It seemed to be from outer space.
"Fuck you! I don't believe it!"
Soon, the disbelief transformed into irritability. Not one to be intimidated so easily, the Inner Fiend
attacked Darren.
Finley and the Water Kylin were so shocked by Darren's horrifying power that they hurriedly retreated.
"Roar!" Faced with the Inner Fiend's attack, Darren's expression grew cold. As the blow neared, he
thrust his palm forward and struck the golden stick.
The force was so mighty that the stars shook, and the void shattered!
Clouds of dirt and dust soared, and the earth cracked and trembled like never before. Except for the
palace of the forbidden area protected by the Witcher Power, the whole Holy Land was devastated.
"Shit!"
At first, the Inner Fiend had resisted Darren's attacks. But a few seconds later, he found that his power
had waned, and he could no longer ward off the blows. Finally, he had no choice but to use his golden
stick to defend himself. He was weaker than his human opponent.
Boom!
The power of darkness erupted from the Inner Fiend's body. He swung his stick to the depths of the
void and then descended like a mighty destructive force that would annihilate the world.
Darren's purple-robed form shone like a God as he levitated in the air. Unperturbed, he looked up with
cold eyes. Then, he transformed into a beam of blood-red light and rushed forward.
In an instant, he collided with the Inner Fiend's golden stick.
At this moment, the whole world fell silent. Only the force of destruction fluctuated as it wreaked havoc
in the void.
Crack! Crack!
The golden stick, now stuck in the destroyed void, flashed a dense streak of lightning. Soon, several
cracks began to appear.
"My Shura Force is not strong enough? Then try my dark gold internal force!"
As Darren had miscalculated the strength of the golden stick, he decided to try his dark gold internal
force. Barely had he finished speaking, the dark gold internal force erupted from his body and
enveloped the stick.
Bang!
The golden light glowed, and the runes began to rotate rapidly.
Darren's attack smashed the golden stick.
"No!"
The Inner Fiend's agonized roar echoed in the sky. He couldn't believe that his long-standing treasure
had been destroyed. This was unacceptable!
A fine red mist erupted from the Inner Fiend's body, and the stench of blood filled the air.
Whoosh!
Darren grabbed this opportunity to charge forward and pierce the Inner Fiend's heart with his dark gold
internal force.
The Inner Fiend grinned and cast a resentful glance at Darren.
"I have an Eternal Body. No one can kill me except Barnes!"
"If I can't kill you, I will ensure that you endure agonizing pain forever!"
Darren's expression turned cruel. He channeled his Shura Force and punched the Inner Fiend into a
blood mist.
After a few minutes, the Inner Fiend regained his body, but he appeared extremely weak.
Bang!
Darren raised his hand and decimated the Inner Fiend again.
"Darren, you are so awesome!"
"Master, you're cool!"
Finley and the Water Kylin praised as they flew to Darren's side. Still astounded by what they had
witnessed, they stared at Darren as if he were a monster.
A half-step emperor had crushed the Inner Fiend, who was at the top level of the six-tribulation realm.
How could they not be shocked?
From ancient times, there was no record of such an incredible person in any books or history. There
were no such powerful people, even in the legends and stories narrated by human beings!
"I estimate that he will return to life after fifteen minutes. Water Kylin, it's your turn to smash him to
pieces," Darren instructed. He then turned to Finley and said, "Send Barnes a message that I've
suppressed the Inner Fiend. It is time for him to finish this."
The Inner Fiend had said that Barnes was the only one who could kill him.
And hence, Darren commanded Finley to send such a message to Barnes. Once Barnes assimilated
the Inner Fiend, he would reach the top level and become the second eight-tribulation senior holy
warrior in history!
"Darren, that damn monkey has made several contributions, but it doesn't mean that he is righteous.
Reconsider please," Finley reminded Darren after some hesitation.
Barnes was a ruthless warrior, just like the high-level emperors who only cared about their interests.
Over the years, he had guarded the forbidden areas only because it benefitted him. If the Inner Fiend holds text © rights.
had released all the first fiend ancestor's body parts, the ancestor would have helped the Inner Fiend to
slay Barnes. That was the only reason Barnes wanted to stop the Inner Fiend at any cost.
Self-preservation was Barnes' reason for siding with the human race. It was also his motivation to
convince the strong cultivators behind the human race to help him. Of course, what he valued the most
was not the law enforcers of the Sacred Palace. He didn't even care about Finley and the Water Kylin.
What Barnes cared about was someone more powerful in the human race.
"You have a point. Once Barnes has nothing to fear, he may turn into a tyrant."
Darren pondered over the dilemma for a while. He knew that Barnes had demonstrated both righteous
indignation and evil tendencies. It was not prudent to let him ascend to the peak at this moment.
